The Fiori Launchpad is the access point to apps on mobile or desktop devices. The apps are displayed via tiles. These tiles provide access to the single apps. The apps are organized through the following entities:

  • Catalog: Set of apps you want to make available for one role. Depending on the role and the catalog assigned to the role, the user can browse through the catalog and choose apps from this catalog displayed on the entry page of the Fiori Launchpad.

  • Group: Subset of catalog which contains the apps visible on the Fiori Launchpad entry page. Which tiles are displayed on a user’s entry page depends on the group assigned to the user’s role. In addition, the user can personalize the entry page by adding or removing apps to pre-delivered groups or self-defined groups.

  • Roles (PFCG): Provides access to the assigned groups and catalogs.

Recommendation Recommendation

SAP delivers predefined technical objects for the Fiori Launchpad which you can copy to set up your own catalogs for the roles within your company.

For catalogs, groups and roles SAP delivers technical content as well as business content. The business content, for example, business roles and business catalogs, can be used as showcases of how you can design roles, catalogs, and groups.

When you create your own catalogs, groups, and roles, use the technical content as a basis. The technical catalogs as part of this technical content contain the apps for a product area. You can identify technical catalogs through *_TC_*in the technical name. The technical roles per area to which the technical catalogs are assigned contain *_TCR_* in their technical name.

End of the recommendation.
